Green Deal reform proposal 'will not work'

摘要

A government proposal to cap landlord contributions towards retrofitting domestic properties at £2,500 per home is flawed, a leading sustainability policy adviser has warned. Next month, the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) come into force, and will require privately rented properties in England and Wales to achieve an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of E. However, it is still unclear what financial implications this will have for domestic landlords.
